Nangong Yue sent someone to assassinate her, which had nothing to do with Nangong Ling.

But she was still implicated and thrown into limbo by Shangguan Lin.

010 If the Qi State is destroyed today, Nangong Ling will become the princess of the subjugated state.

She is a princess of a subjugated country, and she is in the harem of an enemy who destroyed the country, so her status is already embarrassing.

He was still imprisoned in the cold palace, and there was no hope of seeing the sun again in this life.

Apart from committing suicide, she has no other way to go.

Shangguan Lin was willing to bury her in the imperial mausoleum, which was considered the last respect for her.

After Shangguanlin's imperial decree was issued, Nan Gongling's body was taken away by special personnel and buried on the same day.

This matter was done silently, and no one in the harem would pay attention to a concubine in the cold palace.

Soon after, no one will remember that there was once a concubine Jia in the harem.

The next day, on the training ground of the Imperial Palace.

Shangguan Lin sat in a machine white tiger, controlling the white tiger to run and pounce at will.

A tiger claw fell, smashing a boulder in front of him into powder.

A tiger tail swept across the void like a long whip, smashing more than a dozen wooden dummies in the arena to pieces.

The white tiger of the mechanism is extremely powerful, and its whole body is covered with fine iron, which is invulnerable to swords and guns.

If it is controlled by professionally trained soldiers, its combat power can rival that of a grandmaster.

Shangguanlin could imagine what would happen when thousands of white tigers rushed into the enemy's camp.

Master masters cannot be mass-produced, but the organ Baihu (bgfe) can be mass-produced.

Shangguanlin plans to form a white tiger army, and they will attack the city and expand the territory for Tianqi. "Your Majesty, Mr. Yan Lu, Shangshu of the Household Department, seeks to see you." When Shangguan Lin stepped off the white tiger, the eunuch Wang Wen came to report. "Call him over." "No." After Wang Wen left, he quickly brought Yan Lu along.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The training ground was empty, Shangguan Lin went to the deserted place, Yan Lu followed closely, the eunuch Wang Wen did not dare to follow.

He knew that what the emperor was going to say next was a secret, and he was not entitled to know it. "I asked you to investigate, how have you investigated?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have thoroughly checked the files of the transfer department, and the results have been obtained." Saying this, Yan Lu took out a file from his cuff and presented it to Shangguan Lin.

Shangguan Lin took the file and opened it. After reading it, he remained silent.

The dossier records the distribution of iron mines around Jinling and the list of owners of the iron mines.

After returning to Beijing, Shangguanlin secretly ordered Yan Lu to check the distribution of iron ore and the owner of the mine in Tianqi.

Shangguanlin has decided to reform the iron mine.

In Tianqi, gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines are state-owned. Once they are discovered, the folks are not allowed to mine them privately.

But iron ore, as long as the discoverer has the strength to buy it, report it to the Ministry of Households, and obtain the relevant certificate issued by the Ministry of Households, he can mine it by himself.

None of the emperors of Tianqi felt that there was any problem with doing so, but Shangguan Lin felt that it was a big problem.

In this era, iron is a very important thing, and it can even be said to be the lifeblood of the country.

Apocalypse builds weapons every year. In addition to the supply of a part of the imperial iron ore, it also needs to buy iron from the rich and powerful businessmen.

This not only caused huge economic losses, but also equivalent to handing over the initiative to others.

The lifeblood of a country cannot be placed in the hands of others.

Shangguanlin didn't want to lose the initiative, he wanted to nationalize the iron mines.

The dossier records seven iron mines around Jinling, three of which are state-owned, and the other four are in the hands of senior officials and wealthy Jinling businessmen.

Of the three iron mines owned by the imperial court, one of them was collected when he denounced the right minister Wang Hongxuan.

Otherwise, the imperial court would only have two iron mines.

This is only around Jinling, Tianqi has a vast territory, who knows how many iron mines the folks still have?

"Ding, the host triggers the iron ore restructuring task."

"Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the coast of the land is not the king's ministers."

"Iron mines are the lifeblood of the country and cannot be controlled by others. Please host to make a plan to nationalize the iron mines. When [-]% of Tianqi's iron mines are controlled by the state, the task will be completed."

"Mission reward: Zhuge Liannu design blueprint."

"Zhuge Liannu? This is a good thing."

After reading the mission rewards, Shangguan Lin was overjoyed.

At present, bows and arrows are still a standing weapon on the battlefield.

After the transformation of Gongshuqiu, Tianqi's bow and arrow have a long range, sharp arrow clusters, and great lethality.

But the inability to shoot continuously is still a big problem.

With Zhuge Liannu, this problem does not exist.

The existence of the Zhuge Liannu, coupled with Tianqi's sharp arrows, is enough to make Tianqi's army win the many with the few, and the strong with the weak.

Such weapons can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Apocalypse army.

Withdrawing his mind from the system, Shangguan Lin said solemnly: "Decree, starting today, iron ore, like gold, silver and copper mines, will be listed as state-owned. Private mining is not allowed, and those who violate it will be punished."

"Now officials and wealthy businessmen who have iron ore in their hands, I allow them to continue mining, but they have to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If they are willing to sell the iron ore to the imperial court, I can give you [-]% more than the market price."

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

Yan Lu bowed and saluted, then turned and retreated.

Just as Yan Lu was leaving, Zhang Liang arrived in a hurry.

The two nodded as they passed each other.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." "Excuse me." "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Lin looked at Zhang Liang, smiled lightly and said, "Zhang Aiqing is so anxious, why is it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is responsible for selecting officials for Qi, but there are almost not enough students left in the Imperial Academy, and the number of officials waiting for official positions is almost insufficient." "The number of officials is not enough?"

Shangguan Lin glanced at Zhang Liang, frowning slightly.

But soon, Shangguanlin thought of the reason.

Since he ascended the throne, he has bloodbathed the court several times, implicated him wantonly, and killed too many court officials.

Although more than 100 students were selected for the last imperial examination, they only barely filled the vacant officials of Tianqi.

This time, Shangguanlin raised troops to destroy Qi, beheaded the city guard officials along the way, and sent Xuan Jian to wash the court of Qi State with blood, leaving Qi State officials vacant.

It has become a big problem to replenish all officials in a short period of time.

I ask the readers to give the author some motivation, thank you very much! .

Chapter 174 Are you teaching me how to do things? (Second update, please subscribe)

Historically, after a country expands its territory, it always recruits officials from the original country to continue to employ them.

There are two reasons for this.

One is to gain the favor of the local people, and the second reason is that no supplementary officials can be found in a short time.

It can only be said that Shangguan Lin killed too many people this time, and ended up cheating himself. "No way, we can only open Enke again."

Shangguanlin looked at Zhang Liang, and said coldly: "The decree is delivered, the apocalypse will destroy Qi, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be revived. There is an urgent need for people with lofty ideals to serve the court and govern Qi for me, so another Enke will be opened." "Yes, micro The minister complies."

Zhang Liang originally thought of this method, so naturally he would not object at this moment.

It is normal for the new emperor to add Enke after he ascended the throne, but it has never happened to hold the imperial examination for two consecutive years.

But Shangguanlin's reasons are very good, and it also makes the people of Tianqi proud.

Is there any emperor in the history of Apocalypse who could destroy a big country in the second year of his ascension?

No, only this one.

So it is normal for the emperor to do such an unprecedented shocking thing.

After the decree of Jiakai Enke was issued, the students all over the world fell into a state of ecstasy.

Especially the students who failed to perform well last time and failed the rankings.

They didn't expect that after only a few months, they would be able to take the imperial examination again.

And the purpose of the imperial examination also excited them.

The land of Qi is in dire straits and needs to be governed by officials urgently.

This means that as long as you are in high school, you can become an official immediately, and you don't need to wait for an official candidate.

Such an opportunity is once in a thousand years, and they couldn't find it even if they wanted to. It can only be said that they were lucky to meet a wise king through the ages.

In this way, Shangguanlin took the opportunity to gather the hearts of the people again.

As an emperor, what Shangguan Lin likes most is to seize power and kill people, and then win the hearts of the people.

Shangguanlin would never miss an opportunity to win the hearts of the people of the world.

A few days later, the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, the new tax system officials have been drafted, please read it." In the imperial study, Lu Buwei, Tong Zhili and Han Fei stood in front of the table.

Lu Buwei raised his hands and handed over a thick memorial.

Eunuch Wang Wen stepped forward, took the memorial, and sent it to Shangguan Lin.

Shangguanlin opened the imperial reading, the new tax system was written in great detail, and the rules and regulations were clear at a glance.

"Apocalypse citizens, regardless of their status or background, from vassal kings to civilians, must collect taxes according to the following laws.

[-]. Anyone with fertile land not exceeding [-] mu under the name of an official will receive preferential treatment under the law of the apocalypse without paying taxes.

[-]. For those whose fertile land is more than [-] mu but less than [-] mu under the name of an official, [-]% of the tax shall be paid on the excess part according to law.

[-]. For those whose fertile land exceeds [-] mu but less than [-] mu under the name of an official, [-]% of the excess tax shall be paid according to law.

[-]. Where the fertile land exceeds [-] mu under the name of an official, [-]% of the tax shall be paid in accordance with the law.

[-]. For those who have joined the army at home, they will be exempted from tax for three years from the date of joining the army, and the tax will be halved for the next ten years.

1. Anyone who is in business and whose annual income does not exceed [-] yuan shall pay half of the tax according to law.

1. Anyone who does business with an annual income of more than 10 taels and less than [-] taels shall pay [-]% of the tax in accordance with the law.

10. Anyone who does business with an annual income of more than 100 taels and less than [-] million taels shall pay [-]% of the tax in accordance with the law.

100. Those who do business and have an annual income of more than [-] million taels shall pay [-]% of the tax in accordance with the law.

After reading the new tax system, Shangguan Lin nodded secretly.

This tax reform is quite reasonable.

"Immediately announce to the world and order the prefectures and counties of Tianqi to implement this new tax system starting this year." "Anyone who does not respect the new tax system, delays and neglects, and conceals the villagers and does not change the tax system will be sentenced to death!" "Yes , I obey the order." Lu Buwei bowed to accept the order.

But Zuo Chancellor Tong Zhili suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the tax reform is related to the destiny of the country. Will it be implemented after discussing it with civil and military officials at the court meeting?" "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Shangguan Lin narrowed his eyes, and when he looked at Tong Zhili, two cold lights shot out from his eyes.

Tong Zhili was startled and quickly lowered his head. "I dare not, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Tong Zhili felt the chill coming from Shangguan Lin's body, and his heart was jumping with fear. "Don't let it happen again, I don't allow you to comment on what I do." "Yes, I obey the order." "Retire."

Shangguanlin waved his hand, Lu Buwei and the others bowed and retreated.

Looking at the back of Tong Zhili leaving, Shangguan Lin's expression was gloomy.

According to the apocalyptic etiquette system, the emperor should discuss with all civil and military officials when issuing new policies and laws.

The purpose of this is to allow civil and military officials to participate in the discussion of the New Deal laws and find out what is unreasonable.As the left minister, Tong Zhili reminded Shangguan Lin when he insisted on going his own way, and he did nothing wrong. This is his responsibility as the left minister.
